City Year Inc

City Year helps students and schools succeed, while preparing the next generation of civically engaged leaders who can work across lines of difference. Diverse teams of City Year AmeriCorps members provide support to students, classrooms, and the whole school. Schools that partner with City Year are up to two to three times more likely to improve in English and math assessments, and the more time students spend with AmeriCorps members, the more they improve on social, emotional, and academic skills— skills that help students thrive in school and contribute to their community.

City Year Buffalo was founded in 2019 and over the course of that time we have worked closely with our schools, community, and local leaders to best sport our students as whole people. In this upcoming school year, we will work with three local partner schools.

A proud member of the AmeriCorps national service network, City Year is supported by AmeriCorps, local school districts, and private philanthropy. City Year partners with public schools in 29 communities across the U.S. and through international affiliates in the U.K. and South Africa.

City Year contributes to a more joyful, just, and equitable vision of public schools as places of academic, social, and emotional learning, exploration and risk-taking, belonging and connection; where adults meet students where they are with strengths-based strategies and data; and where all students have access to positive relationships and personalized learning environments that encourage them to thrive as creative thinkers and doers, practice lifelong learning skills, and persevere through challenges.
